“Are you even going to give out your calendars? Seems kind of depressing. Maybe it should just be the first meeting of the secret society.”

“You have this insurance policy in Spring 2016, and then the day after the election, what they really didn’t want to have happen, there is a text exchange between these two FBI agents, these supposed to be fact-centric FBI agents saying, ‘Perhaps this is the first meeting of the secret society.’ So I’m going to want to know what secret society you are talking about, because you’re supposed to be investigating objectively the person who just won the electoral college. So yeah — I’m going to want to know.” — Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.)


To whom it may concern (Lisa), from the director of the Secret Society in the FBI dedicated to bringing down Donald Trump:

Wow, Lisa. Just, wow. Way to ruin this for everyone.

We used to be in a secret society, Lisa, but: news flash! When you send a text about a “secret society,” it stops being a “secret society” and just becomes a “regular society people know about and send texts about openly,” as if it were brunch or a Meetup group. That wasn’t what this was, Lisa.
